Congratulations to TD and hard to believe he’s only the 3rd UGA player inducted into the NFL HOF. You’d think guys like Herschel Walker, Bill Stanfill and Jake Scott would be in there. I imagine Hines Ward and Champ Bailey will make it soon and hopefully others like Matt Stanford, Richard Seymour, Ben Watson and Thomas Davis will get consideration when they retire.

How does Jason Taylor get elected to the HOF, but not Stanfill or Scott?! Sure, Taylor was a decent DE. But Stanfill and Scott were integral parts of 2 super bowl winners on one of the great teams of their era. That just defies all logic.

Subjectively, I’m glad he got in. But being objective and taking off my r&b glasses for a second, and I just don’t get how TD managed to get elected to the HOF. He had three great seasons in Denver, with his rookie year being a very good season as he barely eclipsed the 1k yard mark in ’95 I believe. IMO, a few great seasons and nothing else is not HOF worthy. RB’s like Curtis Martin had double the career yards, yet TD seems to be better remembered these days than him.

Regardless, boy did TD ever hate Ray Goff. Even today he unabashedly paints him as an incompetent, heartless hick who had no clue what he was doing.

He is? Based on what? I’m not going to bother looking it up, but I’m willing to bet that Emmett Smith has far more playoff yards and TD’s than TD.

Besides, the fact that you immediately had to go to the playoff argument says quite a bit. You do realize that you are referring to just TWO playoff seasons, in which he was in the backfield with one of the greatest QB’s of all-time, and one of the greatest teams of all time.

Indeed, very impressive…but again we are talking a few short seasons here, in which you’re having to pull from a select few playoff games to make your point. Again, not HOF worthy given his very fleeting career overall.

This is my last post on this as again, subjectively I’m very glad he got in. But I strongly suspect the overall opinions here would be quite different if TD were a Gator or Vol in college. That’s essentially how I looked at it this morning, and I know quite well that I would be calling BS on his induction if he played for a hated rival.

I’m not suggesting that it isn’t a close call due to a lack of longevity. I also think that Terrell’s career is diminished by how well the guys did that came right behind him.

It’s also amazing that he’s not nearly one of the best RB’s we’ve had in the last 40 years but he’s the one in the NFL HOF. I can think of ten TBs at UGA who were better than TD over that time.

I do think 2,000 is a big deal as are Super Bowl rings. It’s harder to get in the HOF if you played at St. Louis in the 1970’s than if you played for the Steelers. TD was lucky to be in Denver when he was. Can’t argue with that.

“But I strongly suspect the overall opinions here would be quite different if TD were a Gator or Vol in college.”

Well, so what? I don’t give a shit for anyone who was a Gator or Vol in college. Every time I’ve seen Peyton Manning on TV I’ve said to hell with him. Except when he roasted Ann Coulter, which was fucking awesome.

Why can’t we unabashedly pull for one of our own? I get so tired of people talking about how we have to be objective about our Dawgs. Fuck no we don’t. I’m a Dawg fan, so I’m damn happy about Terrell Davis getting into the HOF and I don’t give two shits about being objective about it. He’s always been very complimentary to the University of Georgia (and it wasn’t like he got treated all that great by Goff when he was here), so you could show a little loyalty back to the man.

Meh. You have two all everything running backs in your back field. Both good NFL players I think TD was always ahead on YPC. Each had a little different skill set and I think TD transferred in from Cali late? You can’t miss with either.

Would you (if you could only have one) rather the Falcons win the Super Bowl or Georgia beat GT? UF? UT? The Barn?
I hope the Falcons win…it will be great! But it pales in comparison to any game at all in which the Dawgs play.
But for today..”Hunker Down You Hairy Falcons!”

I’d rather the Falcons win the Super Bowl (sorry, Senator, I know it’s a playoff game) than UGA win any one of those games. However, if you say we’ll win all 4 of those next year…I might hafta sacrifice a Falcons victory today to the Football Gods for that.

Some of the toughest ruahing yards ive seen was when he lead us to a tie in williams brice..that game was old man sec football and he was a beast…halting AU’s 17 game winning streak…walking out of there felt more like kissing a hot cousin instead of your sister…very happy for a DGD

Yep. Really stupid. All they had to do was hand the ball to Freeman, who was having a terrific night, and if he didn’t get the first, then punt and make the Patriots go the length of the field using up clock every step of the way. Plus a running play–even if unsuccessful– would have knocked another 40 seconds off the clock even if they didn’t get the first. No way there is enough time left in the game for the Pats to score enough points to tie if they do that. Same old Falcons. Victory in reach and choke. This loss is on the staff–not the players.
